The Crooked River Lighthouse located in Carrabelle, Florida. The lighthouse is 103-ft tall with a focal height of 115-ft, built in 1895 and on the National Register of Historic Places, reference number 78000951. It was decommissioned in 1995 and restored in 2007. It was electrified in 1933 and upon completion the lighthouse was automated. The Carrabelle Lighthouse Association purchased the lighthouse in 1999. If you look at the light, you may notice it is illuminated.

When I was a child the police station in Carrabelle was a phone booth. The phone booth is still there, but the police don’t use it anymore. Carrabelle hasn’t changed much in all those years, so it’s one of a few places where you can see what old Florida was like.
This image was processed in Photoshop using two filters.
I have often said that Carrabelle has the best sunrises and sunsets. I suppose part of that is access to an east/west view of the river, but there is more to it than that. People say I’m crazy for shooting from the bridge, and they’re probably right, but anything for the shot. There was a lot going on in this sunset and the view of the river is lovely. I processed and textured this image in Photoshop.
I have witnessed some spectacular sunsets from this spot, but not on this day. On this day there was no wow in the sunset, just a warm light that gave you a peaceful, relaxed feeling. I processes this photo in Photoshop.

Through a happy accident I took three versions of this picture at different exposures; which allowed me to process this as an HDR image. I haven’t used HDR processing in a long time, but it worked in this case where Photoshop did not.
The HDR processing was done in Photomatix and the results were processed in Photoshop. I applied two textures.

While on holiday in Florida, we saw a sign for Tate's Hell State Forest. Thinking it was an intriguing name, we stopped. On opening the door of our car, we were surrounded by dozens of fairly large horse flies that wanted blood so the "hell" part seemed somewhat appropriate.
The legend behind the name is that an early settler became separated from his dogs and wandered the swampy woods for 7 days and nights before finding civilization. He is reputed to have said "My name is Cebe Tate, and I just came from Hell" before collapsing and dying.
I shot this last May in Carrabelle Florida. Sometime in the night the Pirates Sons left to go shrimping and I didn’t see her for a couple of days. I can’t say much about the processing except I used Photoshop and there is a little bit of everything in this one.
Not much has changed in Carrabelle since I was a small child. I would say that the two biggest changes are an active arts community and the bears. The Florida Black Bear used to be an endangered species; Carrabelle seems to be the epicenter of their comeback. I processed this in Photoshop using two textures.
Morning on the Florida Panhandle. Carrabelle sits on the coast on the St. George Sound inside the barrier islands St. George Island and Dog Island. I liked the cloud formations
Just before sunrise on a late July morning, on a dock at a marina on the Carrabelle River in the Florida panhandle.
The sun just over the horizon near low tide with light reflecting from both the clouds and water. This is along the
Florida gulf coast just east of Carrabelle.
This dock was built to replace the one Hurricane Denise destroyed. Unfortunately Hurricane Michael took this one out. They have a new dock now, but I liked this one better. I hope the new one last longer. This is always a good spot to catch the sunrise over the Carrabelle River. This is a shot that I had never processed, so I thought I would try texturing it. I processed it in Photoshop using two of my own textures.
Carrabelle Florida is hasn’t changed much since I was a child. It is a quiet little fishing village on a part of the coast in North Florida known as the Forgotten Coast. While the rest of the world is rushing forward in an uncontrolled fit of madness Carrabelle is a place where the most important topic is always whose catching what and where.
I processed this Photoshop. I used a combination of the neural filters and Dynamic Auto Painter and textured it with one texture.
The Crooked River Light, also known as the Carrabelle Light, was built in 1895 to replace the Dog Island Light on Dog Island, which had been destroyed in 1875 by a hurricane. The location on the mainland allowed the light to serve as the rear range light for the channel to the west of Dog Island, used by ships in the lumber trade.

The Crooked River Lighthouse was first lit with a 4th Order Bivalve Fresnel Lens. This lens was manufactured by well-known French Lens and clockmaker Henry Lepaute in his factory on Rue de Lafayette, Paris, France in 1894. This particular 4th order lens is a rare, one-third open, bivalve shape made of brass and glass prism rings. It is a distinct 90-degree separated bullseye “group” flashing glass lens. Bivalve Fresnel lenses were first introduced in the USA at the Chicago Columbia Exhibition of 1893. It is thought that the Crooked River Lighthouse’s lens may have been one of the earliest installations of a bivalve lens in America.

A roadtrip in 2022 meandered the Florida Pangandle, along the gulf coast, through Carrabelle where I came across this fantastic, and somewhat famous, building.
Shot using a ca.1960s Diana camera on Film Washi S film.
In a charming little fishing village on Florida’s forgotten coast you’ll find the Moorings of Carrabelle where you can rent a slip for your boat, and a room for the night.
I processed this in Photoshop using an action, a bit of style transfer from the Neural filters and two textures, French Kiss Crème Fraiche, and Texture-37 from Lenabem-Anna J’s amazing texture collection.
Carrabelle, Florida, a historic working community, is located right on the Gulf of Mexico in the eastern Florida Panhandle. A true fishing village, its people have been harvesting from the sea for more than 100 years.
At its heart Carrabelle is still the same sleepy little fishing village it was 60 years ago, but today there is much more to Carrabelle than fishing; there is a thriving art community and a nice gallery, two museums, and a lively bit of nightlife.
I processed this picture in Photoshop and textured it with three textures that were much modified from the ones I purchased.
